Car totaled in icy crash

LYMAN — A Sanford woman needed to be extricated from her vehicle after she lost control of her vehicle due to icy conditions on Route 111 on Monday.

Faith Crosby, 18, was driving her 2003 Kia Optima on Route 111 in Lyman, heading east toward Biddeford, when she passed a fuel tanker in front of her, according to Major William King, of the York County Sheriff’s Department. Crosby reportedly was forced to return to her lane to avoid oncoming traffic and lost control of her vehicle due to ice on the road, King added. The Kia went down an embankment and the driver’s side of the car struck an oak tree.

“Crosby, the sole occupant of the vehicle, was trapped and had to be extricated by Goodwin Mills Fire and Rescue,” King said in a prepared statement. “She was transported to Goodall Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.”

The accident occurred at approximately 3:40 p.m.

The Kia was totaled.

Monday’s mix of snow, sleet and drizzle made for dangerous roads. According to King, the sheriff’s department responded to 24 traffic accidents throughout the county, and three of them involved injuries.
